[wtr-general] Re: Embed screenshot in Watir-rspec report (not just for failed tests)
Hi Jarmo,
You give some good points to think about. I agree that there should be no
reason to look at the reports when they don't fail.
On the level on integration testing, we're mostly interested in the layout
of the Flot graph (scaling/stacking of bars etc.) and I'm not sure if unit
testing the data given to the Flot graph will cover this 'requirement'.
Maybe I can extract the location of a bar in the Flot graph using
Javascript and then interact with that using Watir-webdriver.
This will require some more research on my part and is probably more
related to Flot than Watir ;)
Regards,
Arjen

The watir-rspec readme states:

uploaded_file_path =

{|file| file.write Generated File Input}file_field(:name =

Where do I put this code? When I put it in my spec_helper.rb, I get this
error: undefined method `file_field' for main:Object (NoMethodError)
Anyone has some ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[wtr-general] Re: Embed screenshot in Watir-rspec report (not just for failed tests)
Hi Jarmo, thanks for replying
I'll clarify a bit what I would like in my rspec report.
I don't want to make a screenshot after *every *spec, just during some of
the specs which test Flot graphs (a Javascript library for displaying
graphs).
These Flot graphs are pretty hard to interact with using Watir-Webdriver
thus I want to add a screenshot to the report (or a link to the screenshot)
so our testers can quickly check if nothing weird is going on.
So my (simplified) spec looks like this:
describe do something once logged in do
it should screenshot the flot graph do
screenshot.save 'flot.png'
end
end
Then the generated report should look like this:
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vsIEoAadNmE/U1DTkUF0yoI/ACU/VzUQ0FuRcSM/s1600/rspec.png
Hopefully this clears up my question.
Is this possible with just watir-rspec or is some form of monkey patching
required?
Regards,
Arjen

Hi!
Unfortunately there's no built-in support for such a requirement in
`watir-rspec` nor `rspec` itself.
However, you can achieve that quite easily by creating your own
`HtmlFormatter`. Easiest would be to extend `Watir::RSpec::HtmlFormatter`
(https://github.com/watir/watir-rspec/blob/master/lib/watir/rspec/html_formatter.rb)
and then override `example_passed` from
`RSpec::Core::Formatters::HtmlFormatter`
(https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/blob/master/lib/rspec/core/formatters/html_formatter.rb#L48-L52)
and insert the links created during your specs from
`@files_saved_during_example`. It seems to me that you need to create a
different method for printing out the html than it is done currently by
RSpec at `HtmlPrinter`
(https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/blob/master/lib/rspec/core/formatters/html_printer.rb#L29-L32).
Then, in your specs you just need to save the screenshot like this:
browser.screenshot.save Watir::RSpec.file_path(uploaded.txt) # = this
creates a unique file name and adds it to the `@files_saved_during_example`
array as well.
Also, refer to the code currently adding links to files created during
failing specs to get some idea how it is done:
https://github.com/watir/watir-rspec/blob/master/lib/watir/rspec/html_formatter.rb#L47-L51
And don't forget to use your own HtmlFormatter in spec_helper instead of
Watir::RSpec::HtmlFormatter.
The whole approach written above is not tested in practice, but seems to be
doable in theory without monkey-patching, but using regular OO programming
practices :)

[wtr-general] Re: Embed screenshot in Watir-rspec report (not just for failed tests)
Now, after giving some thoughts about it - the way you try to solve it is
not best solution for your problem. I mean, automated tests should be
automated - if test does not fail then there should be any reason to look
at the reports. By making test pass and then looking at the screenshot
attached to the report to make sure that it really passed seems wrong.
Correct solution would be to test it on some lower level. For example, test
the data given to the Flot library. Best solution would be to use
JavaScript unit testing in that case, but you can also do it by using
Watir::Browser#execute_script by returning some JavaScript object back to
Ruby and then asserting there.

Hi!
Are you saying that you want to take screenshots after every spec?
